Bug 318959 – sys-power/cpufreqd-2.4.2 version bump (was sys-power/cpufreqd-2.3.4-r2: segfault with two batteries)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rostislav Opocensky 2010-05-08 10:27:14 UTC]

The cpufreqd daemon segfaults when there are two batteries in the laptop. This is a known problem and a fix is available: http://tinyurl.com/2vy7cxr

The patch actually works with cpufreqd-2.3.4-r2 from portage and fully solves this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/cpufreqd stop
2. plug a secondary battery to the laptop
3. cpufreqd -V0 -D

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault


Expected Results:  
(none)

I have created a test ebuild from cpufreqd-2.3.4-r2 in overlay with just the mentioned patch added and cpufreqd works right now.

I confirm to be having the exact same problem.

Issue fixed by the upstream, latest version released 3 weeks ago. Please bump.

cpufreqd-2.4.2 ebuild patch

Diff for new ebuild.

Looks like the CPU_ALL and lm_sensors patches were included in the release, so this just removes them from the ebuild.
